The 16-year-old minor suspected of being one of the perpetrators of the shooting in the 11th arrondissement of Paris on Monday evening, was indicted and imprisoned, learned franceinfo from a judicial source, confirming information from AFP.

This shooting, which took place on Monday July 18 on the terrace of a shisha bar on rue Popincourt, left one dead and four injured. Around 9:30 p.m., two individuals got out of a vehicle and fired “on two individuals seated on the terrace”reports the Paris police headquarters. According to the borough mayor, François Vauglin, it was the customers of the bar who overpowered one of the two shooters, who was then arrested by the police. The hypothesis of a settlement of accounts is favored by the investigators.

The 16-year-old was indicted Friday night for “organized gang assassination, organized gang assassination attempt, unauthorized acquisition and possession of weapons of categories A and B in meetings, and association of criminals with a view to crimes and misdemeanors”, said the same source. Previously, he served nearly four days in police custody.
